The following is a portion of an obitu-
airy published in the Oneida Union of
Saturday. Aug. 6: ''Shortly before mid
night on Wednesday night, Mrs. Sybil D.
Randall entered into rest at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. N. Higinbotham, af-
ter having fought the good fight and kept
the faith delivered to the saints. Mrs.
Randall was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Dyer, and Oldest sister of
Mrs. Clara Dyer Gates born in Rutland,
VT, May %, 1900, where she passed her
youthful days and young girlhood, until
about 20 years ofage, when she removed
to Manlius, Onondaga Co. 1t was while
teaching there in private school for
young ladies that she met, and in 1922
married, Nicholas P. Randall, at that
time one of the most able jurists of the
Onondaga county bar. Mr.. Randall
died in the spring of 1886, since which
time she has been a widow. She was the
mother of four children,-Mrs. n. Hig-
inbotham, of Oneida; Mrs. D. F. Apple
ton, of New Y ork, who died year ago;
Charles, who died many years ago at the
age of Is months, and Nicholas D. Ran
dali, of Utica. She continued to reside
in Manlius until 1854, when she came to
live with Mrs. Higinbotham. her loving
daughter, with whom she has spent the
decline of her helpful life, loved and re-
spected by her neighbors and the COM
munity at large. In her death the church
loses most devout supporter and mem
Der. While at Manlius she became a
communicate of Christ Church and for
more than 80 years the Episcopal church
has been indebted to her as most gener-
Gus and loving almoner and friend. When
she came to Oneida in 1854, there was no
church edifice of that denomination and
services were held intcrmittingfy. Rec
ognizing the needs of the then scattered
and meagre flock, she and her daughter,
Mrs. Higinbotham, built St. Johns
church, and who may say how much the
good cause in Oneida owes to their noble
generosity? Not only did she build the
church. which was at first a plain and
unpretentious structure, but she has con-
stantly given to it, its missions and char
tiles. She also gave the rectory lot to
the society. By her, only few years
ago, the handsome new altar was given.
She last winter contributed largely to
the organization of the Randall Chapter
OF the Guild of the Silver Cross named
in her honor. She has been most help
full and judicious adviser and counsellor
of the rectors of this parish. and much of
the inspirations of good have come from
her. Truly, St. Johns parish has lost
one of its most valued and able members.
A thorough church woman, generous,
loving, wise, sanity. Truly a mother in
the house of Israel has fallen" xxx
